Columbia ’s Freeze Degree Short Sleeve Crew contains a cloth filled with polymer called Omni - Freeze . They act like goose pimple — to cool the hide , the tiny rings swell up when they get soaked . Innuendo aside , this variety of works .
What Is It?
A t - shirt that cool off you down as you get hotter and sweatier . The fabric move sweat aside from moist areas , like the back and underarms . It has an antimicrobial handling and UPF 50 sunshine protective covering .
Who’s it For?
Anyone who bid they were cool than they currently are ( temperature - wise ) .
Design
Slim but not tight . Covered in tiny blue-blooded band . multitude said it look futurist — in a good manner .
Using It
One ofColumbia ’s beta - testerssaid that wearing this thing matte up cool than running with a shirt off . Not true . But this is certainly better than running in a unmistakable cotton t - shirt .
The Best Part
The fabric is balmy , knavish , and stretchy , like a silk - spandex loanblend . It ’s comfy .
Tragic Flaw
A seam that excoriate your shoulders feels like getting a back rub with dental dental floss .
This Is Weird…
This shirt really subjugate sweating . But then , when the shirt is n’t wet , there ’s no cool off burden .
Test Notes
The cooling impression improves when there ’s a fragile breeze .
The medium size was a fleck sluttish on a skinny inning .
After four runs—25 air mile — it started smack observably . That ’s not as dependable as thegreatest t - shirt in the world .
No tan in California sunshine over 80 point . The Omni - Shade works .
The wicking back panel evenly distributed sweat , but it did n’t transport moisture into the Omni - Freeze cloth . That would have been nice , considering the Omni - Freeze is where the cooling effect come from .
Should You Buy It?
The cooling upshot works passably well , but it ’s not as effective as just going shirtless . A wearable air conditioner , this is not . If you ’re too modest to go barechested — or need extra protection from sunburn — the $ 60 shirt conk out on sale next bound .
